Challenges and Opportunities of Blockchain for Cyber Threat Intelligence Sharing
share
The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology has caused a powerful transition in the cyber threat landscape. As a result, organisations have had to find new ways to better manage the risks associated with their infrastructure. In response, a significant amount of research has focused on developing efficient Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) sharing platforms. However, most existing solutions are highly centralised and do not provide a way to exchange information in a distributed way. In this chapter, we subsequently seek to evaluate how blockchain technology can be used to address a number of limitations present in existing CTI sharing platforms. To determine the role of blockchain-based sharing moving forward, we present a number of general CTI sharing challenges, and discuss how blockchain can bring opportunities to address these challenges in a secure and efficient manner. Finally, we discuss a list of relevant works and note some unique future research questions.
